very exclusive, very select, and at

CONCREZE FLOOR BEAMS.
IfollOW Tubes of Cement Take the Place.
Of Modern Joists
Cement is being made nso of for floor
beams instead of those of wood by tho
invention of id Siegwart, an architect
of Lucerne. Switzerland.. In their out-
ward appearance theee beams resemble
the loug wooden tube e width are made
use of to a certain .extent for the pur-
pose of containing wires being placed
underground. The beams that are
turned out at the Lucerne establishment

than 10 inches,. but vary in the other
dimensions, according to the length of

designed to • carry. The hole extends
through the length, and the metal rods •
with which tho concrete is reinforced
vary from slightly less than two
eg
inches to a over three. There are
generally six of these. in each beam
Two of the rods cue laid parallel with
the under face of the beam, and the
other four ere bent upward in the form
a et
at the ends in order to
strengthen their supporting power, The
proportion of cement to coarse sand
used in menufacture is as 1 to 4. The
beams, being made hollow, have the
same -strength as though they were
solid, with a great reduction in weight.
On account of being hollow, they are
more easily heated. Their sides are
corrugated so that the cement used in
joiuing them can enter the spaces and
form a solid TheSS.
Tbe manner of laying tbe beams to-
gether is exactly the 811100 '118 in the case
of wooden beams. They are made in
digereet lengths, and, besides being, used
in floors, they can be employed in the
econstruction of roofs, terraces and stair-
case supports; also in walls where there
is a side pressure, as in warebouees,
coal bunkers, etc. It has been demon-
strated that these beams ate support
a load four or five times es great as
Can the ordinary wooden beams.
Besides being of greater strength than
the wooden beams, they have the Ode
tional quality of being fireproof. It is
also claimed that the beams can be
laid much more rapidly than any other,
and when it is desirable to do so the
conchnts -through the centre may be
made use of for ventilation.
Longing to be a Hero.'
(Chicago Record -Herald.)
I want to be a hero;
Not one of those who fell
Where battle rages fiercely;
Nay, not that kind at Mi.
I do not longto carry
The frowning height by storm,
Or leave the foe to bury
My sadly mangled form.
I want to be a hero,
But net where shell and sbot
Cause blood to Tun in torrents
And warships go to pot.

Inside Inn Accommodations
You Can Live at this Hotel and See
the World's Fair as Many Days as
You Like Without Leaving
the Grounds.
RATES EXTREMELY MODEST.
One of the unique privileges to be en-
joyed by thousands of World's Fair
guests is that of living at an hotel in-
side grounds during their stay at the
Exposition. No other exposition has af-
forded such a privilege, This hotel, aptly
named "The Inside lme," has a Capacity
of 0,000 guests. Its enormous size at-
tracts great attention. It is located
near the southeastern corner of the
grounds, close to an Intramural railway'
station, and in easy walking distance of
the "main picture" of the Fair.
The Inside Inn is to be conducted un-
der the supervision of the World's Fair
officials, who fix the prices for accommo-
dations -rooms, meals, etc. Thus it may
be sden that there can be no extortion
whatever. Every guest registering at
the hotel Neill know exactly what price
he must pay per day for his room or
rooms and for his meals. The guest
pays his way into the World's Fair
grounds -fifty cents: If he stops at the
Inside Inn the hotel rates inelude the
daily price of admission.
There is a great demaed for rooms at
the Inside Inn, the bookings having been
in progress for several months. There
are 2,257 rooms; they range in price
from $1.50 to *2.50 per day, rooms with
bath costing from :0.50 to *5.50. All
these rates include the prieb of admis-
sion to the Fair after the first admission
fee of fifty cents is paid at the gate. Sin.
gle meals at the Inn will cost as follows:
Breakfast, 150 cents; luncheon, 50 cents;
evening dinner, 75 cents. There is also it
service it la carte at very reasonable
rates. Guests who desire to obtain no-
commodatione on the American plan
may do so, at fixed rates, according to
location of room.

first-class hotel is to bo provided at the
Inside Ten, and those who stay there
during their visit will have adVantage of

Ex-
liedences.
Miss Suzete Taylor, an Englishwoman,
who has just returned from Thibet, saes
that the Thibetan is well enough dis-
posed to the leuropenn who behaves with
ordinary civility and common sense. For
instance, when the polite Thibetan puts
out his tongue at you, ,you should het
knock him down, for be le only being
civil to you after his own kind. The in-
sanitary hand -shake is not countenanc-
ed, and its place in the rode of civility
.is taken by the projected tongue.

Japanese Strategy.
The Japanese have long been famous
for skill in. wrestling. Their adepts in
this and other branches of athletics have
invented many trieks, based on thorough
knowledge of the weak points of the
htuuan anatamy, that enables the mas-
ters thereof to overthrow antagonists
far bigger and more powerful than them-
selves. This system is called "jiu jitsu,"
or the art of self-defense. It is said that:
it reasonably strong woman, mistress of
this art, can "down" a man of double
het size and strength.
The efficiency of litt jitsu" was strik-
ingly exemplified by Lieutenant Takio
Hires°, the heroic young naval officer,
who led the first torpedo-boat attack
upon the Russian fleet at Port Arthur,
and was killed while leading the second
attack on March 27. While Hirose was
serving as naval attache et St. Peters -
hong, two or three years ago, a Russian
officer of great stature asserted at a
banquet one night, that the Japanese,be-
ing so mall of stature, could not, as
dividuals, hold their own in any war.
Hirose smilingly defied any three Rus-
sians to overcome hint at wratling.
Roars of laughter greeted the challenge,
for Hirose's prowess was little suspect-
ed. At last, for the fun of it, the Russian
officer sent for three large and sturdy
soldiers. One after another the little
Japanese threw the giants, to the
amaxement of all present.

ENOUGH COAL TO LAST 371 YEARS.
It appears that there is coal in the
*United Kingdom to the depth oe 4,000
feet, sufficient, at about the present rate
of output, to suffice for 371 years, but
that this period will be considerably ex-
tended, seeing that there is every prob-
ability that mining ean be earned on
to a depth of 7,000 feet, though at this
depth there will not be anything like
the arett of coal that there is at the
former limit. It is also reasonable to
expect that this period of supply may
be further extended by a. more econom-
ical Aso of fuel, due to the establishment
of central electrical supply stations and
the utilization of Mond and other gas -
producing processes and Of ges-driven
engines, as well as other means of ob-
taining a higher percentage of the heat
value of the fuel. -Se James' Gazette.

If his wife died he must enter a mon-

which the priests resort in guarding the
